These portraits are of the residents of the notorious Gatwick Private Hotel. Here self-conscious residents stand with a blanket covering their face and upper body, standing as photographers themselves used to when they stood under a black cloth to better see through the camera lens. The hotel owner states: ‘Most [residents] keep to themselves, stay in their room or go about their business without bothering anyone…Most of the residents you wouldn’t know existed.’
Anonymity and invisibility are harbingers of social inequality in a contemporary culture that increasingly relies upon visual representation. To be invisible is to disappear. Yet to be photographed is to have ones image join a network of images, the reading of which is usually beyond the power of the subject to direct.
Exhibition runs through till September 7th, 2013

The exhibition presents the results of the Mobile Studio project by Chinese artist Maleonn. Maleonn has been traveling in China for nearly a year in a truck converted into a photography studio. With his team of six people and his photographic material, Maleonn has visited more than 50 cities.One can find in this project all the codes of the artist’s fantastical universe, colorfull yet tinged with irony. The childhood, the kingship and romance are at the center of the Mobile Studio’s photographs. With few resources, Maleonn managed to create a unique atmosphere. He has invited the people he met in each city to participate by having their portrait shot, creating as many situations as there are different personalities.
This pioneering and original project in China is reminiscent of the explorers-photographers who crossed different countries to document what they were seeing by using photography. Yet for Maleonn, even if the shape of the Mobile Studio is similar, its purpose is somewhat different: the concept of sharing and exchanging with the Chinese population is the key point of this project. Maleonn thereby wishes to create portraits that look like “what they’d love to be or have always wanted to be but never had the chance to”.
